what i meant was, substitute the letters "slh" for the picture of the scorpion. no scorpion, only the letters "slh", sitting there emanating light. letters and light in any color which pleases you and your eye.

Light blue and Red do not go well together (my opinion). If you use either the blue or blue-green shades OR the orange-red shades with Red, the contrast will be low. Wall papers, as I use, should not pop out, they are backgrounds. So contrast of colors should be low.

Nice work otherwise, something I liked after a long time.

fiuuuuu sorry again for my poor mind and my poor english, IKe.
Who knows why, I had understood the opposite.

So what you mean is to remove the crab and put the word "slh"...
Well I think it could be a nice new idea... and now I need a good brainstorm about it eh eh
Thank you for your comments Ike.

... at the end, often I like to free the creation ...
Moreover I think the wallpaper is often covered by the programs window, so for the few time the desktop is free it can be beautiful to see something contrasted

But at the and again you are right, they are backgrounds.
So thank you for your comment and suggestions.

free the creation and the creator.

some of my wallpapers i allow icons on, others that i really love i won't allow it, like some of my favorite views and pictures of friends no longer with us. those i just like to gaze at sometimes. like looking out the window, it's a nice break from work.

instead insert the letters "slh" where the crab is, at the point of the knife/spear.

Hi Ike,
do you mean something about that in attachment?

YIKES!!! sorry about all caps, but i am really excited. this is F-in EXACTLY !!! what i was talkin about!!! slh might be a little embarrassed by it (i know his kernels, not his personality), but if i was in Berlin i'd start graffitiing it onto buildings right now!

took me a minute to find the link to it in your original post, zenren.

i really liked this when i first saw it and i'm liking it better every time i look at it.

it's got such nice balance and harmony, both in color and composition, but it's exciting at the same time. and it recalls buddhist religious imagery, with its reminder of a lotus blossom opening, and the brightly burning halo of light that bathes the being of the Enlightened One. it is perfect zenren... really.

take it literally or tongue in cheek? up to the beholder to decide.

to be honest i was having trouble letting go of sidux, the name/color schemes/artwork, but what you've done here makes sidux look like water-under-the-bridge, the past, old fashioned.
